Unveiling the Green Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles: Spectroscopic and Antibacterial Insights

EasyChair Preprint no. 11224

Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have gained significant attention for their wide-ranging applications, particularly in the field of nanomedicine, due to their exceptional antibacterial properties. This study explores an eco-friendly and sustainable approach for the synthesis of AgNPs using a green biosynthesis method. The use of plant extracts and natural compounds has become an attractive alternative to chemical methods, aiming to minimize the environmental impact of nanoparticle production. In this investigation, we synthesized AgNPs using an aqueous extract of a selected plant species rich in bioactive compounds. The biosynthesis process was characterized and monitored using various spectroscopic techniques, including UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, and XRD analysis. The results revealed distinct absorption peaks in the UV-Vis spectrum, suggesting the successful formation of AgNPs, with the size and shape being influenced by reaction conditions. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of biomolecules responsible for the reduction and stabilization of AgNPs. XRD analysis provided insights into the crystalline nature of the nanoparticles. This study underscores the significance of green biosynthesis methods for AgNPs and provides valuable insights into their spectroscopic characterization and antibacterial activity. The eco-friendly synthesis of AgNPs and their potent antibacterial properties hold promise for various applications in nanomedicine, materials science, and environmental remediation.
